Dublin voted friendliest capital – but so over-rated and boring

IF you’re a Munster rugby fan who’s just been subjected to a weekend of taunts by the natives you might not agree, but Dublin has been voted the friendliest European city.

But tourism bosses might not be ready to bask in any glory just yet as Dublin was also named as the third-most boring European capital after Brussels and Zurich, while also coming third in the title for most over-rated capital, and second for worst-dressed.

It is the second year in a row that the Irish capital has been voted Europe’s most welcoming city in a survey by the travel advice website, Tripadvisor.
